I would call J.S. Bach, Chopin and all those old composers to be musicians as they also perform their pieces.
Ayu is probably more skilled in connecting people with her lyrics and the emotions in her voice. But I can't say that she's a skilled singer.

...you're underestimating the whole process. Period. Maybe you play guitar or something but I can tell you right off the bat it takes a lot more than your simplification of the process. It doesn't take a genius to know that it involves more than just "making melodies in your head". Easier said than done too. If it's not hard you'd see a lot more J-pop artists composing their own works. The very fact that there's only a handful of well-known artists who compose their own works like Utada Hikaru, ayaka, Ai Otsuka, Angela Aki, etc. to name a few negates your statement. There's a reason it's usually left to people who specialize in that department. It has to be good, not something sub par. And it's not something anyone can just do and succeed at.
Are you saying you could have made evolution, Heartplace, winding road, Naturally, etc.?
